Convert HTML field to unicode

Posted 06-29-2017 03:17 PM (854 views)

<html>

<body>

In Excel I can use the Paste Special to read this this and convert it to Unicode and get rid of the HTML.

Any way to do this in SAS?

 

 

<div align="left" style="min-height: 9pt; "><font face="Arial" color="#000080"><span style="font-size:8pt"><b>Stover,Susan&lt;TEST&gt;, 6/21/2018 12:47:47 PM:&nbsp;</b></span></font><font face="Arial"><span style="font-size:8pt"> <br /></span></font></div>

<div align="left" style="min-height: 9pt; "><font face="Arial"><span style="font-size:8pt">Can this be set to retest with recent or new records?&nbsp; This issue

was encountered while Susan was testing code</span></font></div>

<div align="left" style="min-height: 9pt; "><font face="Arial"><span style="font-size:8pt"><br /></span></font><font face="Arial" color="#000080"><span style="font-size:8pt"><b>________________________________________</b></span></font><font face="Arial"><span style="font-size:8pt"><br /></span></font><p></p>

infile cards truncover;
input x $2000.;
new_x=urldecode(prxchange('s/<[^<>]+>//',-1,x));
cards4;
